Once the analyst or therapist can convince the audience or the patients that there is more to psychic and mental life than just the mere satisfaction of the pleasure principle, the task of analysis and therapy is complete. But getting to that point of completion is a challenge or perhaps even a “threefold battle” to borrow from Freud, in the sense that “mental forces” which seek to bring the analyst or therapist down from the level of analysis are working with both critics and naysayers of the technique and method of psychoanalysis and the audience and patients themselves to discredit the analyst or therapist with their “untamed passion.” The closer the analyst or therapist gets to the completion of his task, the harder it becomes for the analyst or therapist to actually complete his task.
It then prompts what Freud called “Wild Psychoanalysis” or a kind of truthfulness that is then imposed on everyone by the analyst and therapist which in turn proves to be more effective and efficient than anything that a formal authority or professional can offer to anyone. “Wild Psychoanalysis” is of course met with resistances and opposition by formal authority and professionals. But over the course of time, ways of overcoming these resistances and opposition have to be found by formal authorities and professionals, given the obvious efficacy and efficiency of the technique and method.
